[Chicago special
The inquest on the body Of Louis Lingg, the
bomb-maker, was held at the Coroner's Office
ON Thursday. The jury found this verdict; I'VE
find that Louis Lingg came TO his death from
lungs, caused by the explosion OF bomb about
two inches long and half an inch in diameter,
and nlled with dynamite, said bomb being ex-
ploded by his own hand with suicidal intent on
Nov. 10, A. ID. 1881" The question as to how
Lingg obtained possession of the missile Is as
great q mystery as ever.
The Anarchist Defense Committee state that
some time will be required to enable them to
decide on what cemetery they will select in
which 60 inter the bodies Of the dead anarchists.
Three different offers have been made TO the
committee OF sufficiently large lots in Waldheim
Cemetery by the respective owners of the lots,
so that the committee, as 1t claims, feels inde-
pendent OF the cemetery authorities, who de-
mand that the bodies, II inferred there at all,
shall be buried in different parts OF the ceme-
terv.
The Defense Committee, at its next meeting,
will consider the question Of providing funds

stood in the front yard, beneath the
parlor windows. They looked up al
the faint ray of light that stole out al
the side of curtain. They whispered
together. Then one OF them took OFF
his shoes, drew q pistol from his
poe ct, cooked it. and opening the
front door with soft and continued
pressure, disappeared inside with the
stealthy step of cat
The other crouched low beside the
steps, listening warily for the least
sound.
He heard a sound, light step on the
stone walk from the gate. Before he
could rise a great weight fell on him
and crushed him down. Two muscular
hands were at his throat, and before
he could offer any resistance he was
cho ed senseless.

known to profession burglars as a

it was, his assailant seemed to know
that he had it, and searched round in
the grass till he secured it. Then he
hastily removed his own shoes, and
stole into the house by the front door.
Lyman Drake had risen, at last, to
go, full of supreme anguish of the
thought that he could not see the
s eepy young woman before him for
at least twenty hours more. His back
was to the door; her face was neces-
sarily turned in the same direction; q
leave-ta ing which it would be a
breach of confidence in us to describe
was just about to occur-when Lyman
was startled by the sudden pallor of
Eva's face, and the trembling of her
whole person. She stared straight
over his shoulder. He looked round.
A man stood five feet from him with a
dark-lantern in one hand and pistol
in the other. A crape-mask, pierced
with eye-holes, covered his face.
"Now, me kids" he said in hoarse
whisper, "doncher dare ter make eny

The murderous revolver covered
them. What poor Lyman would have
done, he does not now; what might
have happened VII never be known.
There was strong deliverer at hand,
and before he could speak another
word the terrified lovers saw a man en-
ter the room, step softly behind the
burglar and fell him to the floor. He
rolled like lump OF lead n the car
pet, his pistol exploding and sending a
ball into the ceiling as he fell.
Don't be afraid !" the deliverer said,

his face far less ruddy than usual, and
q big pistol in each hand, while his
trembling wife held fast by his ample
gown, and looked over his shoulder.

acted on it, which showed him to be O

ways of the house were somewhat

"Lyl an Ora came while you were

The Judge turned to his desk again,
wrote two or three letters. and then
threw himself baci in his easy chair.
When his wife was ready to go up

deep revery.
"Do you hear, Jonathan?" she said.
"Im going to bed. When you come

Louis Lingg was born In Schwotzngen, Sept

Louis was child. He was brought to Mann
helm when but 2k years old. and spent eight
years in the VOlk School, whore his unusual
brightness surprised his teachers. But with
all his talent he was self-willed and, while he
could be easily led by Kindness. could never be
driven by punishment or harsh discipline.
After he had been apprenticed to joiner his
skill and talent excited general remark.
The harshness OF his principal and q Ger
mans yearning to see the world led him away
TO Switzerland, where he joined the anarchists
at Zurich, Basel and st. Gall From Switzer-
land he drifted to Chicago, where he fell in
with August Spies Lingg had a religious be-
lief, but was a child OF nature and spent his
Sundays In the woods and fields instead Of in
saloons.
He went to America principally to escape
mfliuary service, as ne was so rugged ana Btruhg
there was no chance OF his being dropped. He
was decidedly ambitious and very anxious to
adopt some profession. His devotion TO his sis
ter, a beautiful girl about 20 years old, was one
OF the most admirable traits of his Character.
After Lingg's arrival in America he worked
hard and faithfully, eeraing $3.50 a day. three
times as much as he could have ea ned here.
Both his mother and sister expressed salts
faction at his having killed himself. Mrs.
